Ugh
I've only been able to stomach two minutes of BBC News 24's Dateline London this morning. It's a programme I usually enjoy but today it has the Yazzmonster as the British hack. So to protect my Sunday morning peace of mind, I've had to turn it off.
But the Yazzmonster never disappoints, even in just two minutes. She's either monumentally stupid or monumentally wrong, and usually both. This morning it's the former. Talking about Blair's dertermination to remain PM, she came out with this piece of insight:
Not since Thatcher have I come across a politician so committed to their legacy.
Er, yes, Yasmin. There's only been one other PM. Startling insight.
